Seven students participated in this year’s concert, titled Spinning Stars.

School carer Christine Thomson, who has been involved with the annual concert for the past two years, said the Ballarat YMCA Movement and Music Program for children with additional needs was an initiative designed to support students’ physical, social, language and emotional development.

“They all love the music, the movement and the ability to be able to express themselves,” she said.

She said students had rehearsed once a week since January to put on the show.
